The Sickness unto Death »

For the first time in English the world community of scholars is systematically assembling and presenting the results of recent research in the vast literature of Soren Kierkegaard. Based on the definitive English edition of Kierkegaard's works by Princeton University Press, this series of commentaries addresses all the published texts of the influential Danish philosopher and theologian.

Works of Love is a deep and rich book, one that deserves to be widely read and reflected upon. However, the aim of Kierkegaard's labor is not to increase reflection, though that may itself be a work of love, but rather to increase the works of love directed to the flesh-and-blood neighbor, the walking-down-the-street variety of human being.
